Up to 275 homes will be built on three Tyneside riverside sites under redevelopment plans.

Proposals for an overhaul of Dunston riverside go before Gateshead Council's cabinet on Tuesday.

They involve buying land currently owned by three companies on either side of St Omer's Road to be used to create homes.

The plan would continue housing development along the banks of the Tyne following designer Wayne Hemingway's scheme with Wimpey Homes at the Staithes, Gateshead. Land owned by builders merchant Jawson, industrial painting contractor Pyeroy and Nicholls Haulage would be brought under the scheme.
